Maternal and Child Health is available to families with children between the ages of 0 – 6 years.

Access is at our range of locations, Sale, Maffra, Heyfield, Stratford and Rosedale. Attendance can be as often as the family feels necessary. Maternal and Child Health Nurses are notified of any births in our area and will make contact with families within five working days of receiving the birth notice to arrange a first visit, which is usually carried out in the home.

​

Current guidelines recommend that at minimum children attend a centre for key assessments at two, four and eight weeks, then at four, eight, twelve and eighteen months and also at two years and three and a half years of age.

​

The service is by appointment only and Maternal and Child Health can be contacted on 03 5143 8944 (option 2).
